Advice
FAQs for Golden Hill
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What else we do in Golden Hill
Do you need sink repair in Golden Hill?
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Crazing in the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- An antique basin with chips

- How to look after the finish
- What prep work is covered
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price covers travel
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What affects the price in Golden Hill
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BS7 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
